Yay, I didn't know that this group was here. I am working on a BA in English at the moment with hopes of somehow managing to support myself solely through writing. I have a handful of short stories, a treasure trove of bad poetry, and one horribly unedited heap of a novel that resulted from last month's NaNoWriMo. (A two-week break is in order before revision begins; I am thoroughly sick of the story after those thirty days of literary abandon.) Someday I must work up the gumption to seek out a literary agent.

I am a student of Literature. I would very much like to post regularly and I hope my posts get some attention. I am scared to publish anything from what I write or already have written, I don't want people who know me know about what I right. Yes, you can say that I'm not really free. So, I hope you people here give me some help to get over this.

Well, I'm a writer, but probably not the type of writer you're thinking of. See, I am a geek, and I am also an author, writer, and speaker about tech stuff. I've written a couple of books and 40 magazine articles or so. My latest book was Notes & Domino 6 Programming Bible . Oh, and here's something kewl - that book was translated to Czech!! (BTW, I'm Rocky Oliver)
